Episode notes

Do we yet have data on how this country has fundamentally changed since Dobbs? What doctors are seeing? How many patients are coming in with different questions? How many more or fewer people are getting abortions? The whole big picture. Do we have that information yet? Keep in mind the Dobbs decision was only seven months ago. There will be reverberations for years to come but we don't have a longitudinal study just yet because we're still living in the very very immediate aftermath of all of this.

The Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade is reshaping the way a lot of Americans think about pregnancy and abortion. Vox’s Marin Cogan talks to patients and doctors about how reproductive health care has changed in the months since Dobbs.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin and Jillian Weinberger, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey with help from Patrick Boyd and Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
